"It's not who I am underneath, but what I do that defines me"

- Batman

This thread was inspired by something I heard last Thursday. I was on a coach going with my Religious Studies class to a Hindu, and then a Buddhist temple. While we were on the way two girls sitting in front of me and my friend started chatting. At first I didn't bother listening, and started talking to my friend about how Johnny Depp hasn't been in a good film for ages, and how his career is going down hill. But I heard one of the two girls in front mention The Hobbit. As a big Lord of the Rings fan (of both the books and film) I stopped my discussion and started listening.

At first the girl was moaning about how long the film was going to be and how she was really not looking forward to going to watch it with her boyfriend it because it was going to be almost three hours long. Me and my friend made eye contact, amused. Her friend then asked her 'so what is it about?' and no word of lie this is how she replied:

'It's about Bilbo (pronounced by her as bib-lee-oh) Baggins, you know, Frodo's dad.'

At this point the look on both me and my friends face was a mixture of shock, amazement, indignation and a kind of joy. But she went on:

'Oh and that gremlin creature is in it, you know the one that looks like Dobby, but isn't. Yeah I hated him, actually I didn't, I felt really sorry for him'.

At this point I was laughing so hard she turned around and asked if I was laughing at her, and I said I was and apologized. Even now I can't think about 'Bib-lee-oh Baggins, you know, Frodo's dad' without smiling.

Have you guys heard any conversations that made you laugh?

Some guys in front of me in the bus were talking about hom0-blam!- marriage. One said to the other:

We should kill all people of the same sex"

Not knowing what he was REALLY saying.

Couple kids in front of me on the bus were discussing 4chan. No older than 14. They were discussing the hacking, trolls, epic threads etc.

It was cringe worthy, to say the least.

TRU7H. CARNAGE. BUNGIE

A friend told me a story he had heard:


A man was sitting in a full bus with his young son (under 5 I think) and suddenly the boy asks his father: "dad, are we going to play with moms boobs again tonight?"

The bus went dead silent and the man blushed to as red as a firetruck. He then pressed the stop button.

when the bus stopped and the we're getting out the little boy protested loudly: "but dad, this isn't our stop!"

at this point someone just couldn't hold his laugh and started laughing as they left the bus...

Nahman Jayden, Eff bee eye. I herd that you're the origammy killah...

There were these two kids, and one said, "I keep choking on this friggin pickle!" out loud in the park. They turned around, saw me, and ran away. I started laughing hysterically (i was twelve at the time) This was at the park.
Turns out, there was actually a pickle on the ground right there. 'Twas lulzy, to say the least.

There's a “U” and “I” in union but just an “I” in my beliefs

"There's a guy in your kitchen and he's making stuff!"

I laughed out loud when they said that. Awkward.
